Can anyone recommend a reliable builder with fair prices and not so long of a wait? I think this (15/6) will be the perfect cab to go with my Crown XTi 2000. I still haven't decided on a preamp yet. :)

I think I'm well on the way of having a nice sounding lightweight solution.

u84six, please visit the fEARful website and message board. All of the authorized builders are represented there.

Here's even a link to the Builders' info thread:

I've looked at the site. Have you dealt with any of the builders from that list? If so, were you happy with their service?

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

My fEARfuls come from an age before 'authorized builders' existed...you had to scratch to find someone to do it for you. ;)


But I can say, since the infamous Montana Monster started authorizing builders, no one has posted any negative builder reviews.

Probably the most visible is Leland Crooks, for he not only builds but does DIY kits. I've only heard glowing reports. Robby H. obviously specializes in composite builds, but will also do wood builds. Ron Anchak and David Homer are also solid guys. Of course, unless you're an Aussie, Harley might not be your guy.

I would suggest the same thing, visit/join the fEARful forum and ask over there as to if anyone can help. I don't know of an official authorized builder there, but I KNOW there are a number of Euro-TBers and fEARful board members who have built cabs...you may have to do it the old fashioned way and wrangle a deal.

Greenboy is selective about authorizing his builders and thoroughly vets them before putting them on the list. I'd trust any of them to do good work at a fair price.

My only personal experience has been with Leland Crooks (speakerhardware.com). I got all the parts for 2 BFM cabs and my 1st fEARful from him. Later I was a beta tester of sorts when he started selling pre-cut kits for fEARful cabs (my 2nd 12/6). Great service, great prices, and an all around great guy.
